IMPROVED FLUTI NG- AND SAD-IRON.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same v I, CHARLES Hum, of Bufl'alo, in the State of New York, have invented an Improved Combined l luting and Sad-Iron, of which the following is a speciiication.

7 My invention relates to an improvement of the combined fluting and sad-iron, for which I obtained Letters Patent August 9, 1870.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my invention.

Figure 2 is an end elevation, partly sectional.

Figure 3 is a plan of the rocker or crimper.

Figure 4 is an end elevation of the detached fluting part.

My improvement upon the fluting and sad-iron I have heretofore invented consists in making the sadiron with a dovetailed recess or groove upon one side, and the timing or crimping part detached, so as to be inserted in the recess or groove, and covering the fluted part of the sad-iron, and of the'rocking' or crimping part, fig. 3, with sheet metal, nicely adjusted and fitted to the fluting part, and secured in any convenient manner; butl secure the sheet metal to-the detached part by means of the dovetail and a key, it, or in any convenient manner. v

The. sheet metal is shown in the fluted or grooved part by the double lines g g'g.

'The detached piece to be inserted into the side of the sad-iron may be cast entirely of brass or copper,

or some bright or soft metal, which can be polished readily, and will retain its polish.

The sad-iron'is made in the usual manner,'except the dovetail recess, which does not interfere with its use as asad-iron, either before or after the insertion of the flitting part, and the manufacture is facilitated by casting the sad-iron and the fluting part, separately, and covering the flutiug or grooved. partwith sheet metal secures a smooth and polished surface, winch can be readily renewed at any time, and the casting otthe fluting part entirely of brass or metal that will receive a polish more readily than cast-iron, and fitting to the sad-iron in the dovetail recess, secures many advantages, but the same advantages are all substan tially attained by covering the flutes with sheet metal ofsome kind, and, in addition, will probably be cheaper.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim iS- The combination of a sad-iron, i, with a fluted (le-
